WHO WAS Z-BEST OLYMPIAN in 2008 and 2012?
Journal of Student Research (2014) Volume 3, Issue 1: pp. 1-12 WHO WAS z-BEST OLYMPIAN IN 2008 AND 2012? Ian D. MacKaya, Jack W. Markusena, Paul M. Sommersa The authors examine athletes’ performances in swimming, track, and gymnastic events during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics with the purpose of discovering the most dominant performance. By standardizing great athletic performances using a z-score (the number of standard deviations from the average performance in the finals of a particular event), winners were compared amongst the three sports. The most dominant athlete (with the highest z-score, calculated with or without the last place finisher) was neither celebrated swimmer Michael Phelps nor sprinter Usain Bolt, but rather American LaShawn Merritt in the 400 meter run. Keywords: z-scores; 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics; best performances Who were the most dominant athletes at the 2008 winner, we also report his or her “adjusted” z-score, that is, Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics? Multiple gold the winner’s z-score is recalculated after dropping the finalist medal winners Michael Phelps (swimming), Usain Bolt who finished in last place (and hence had the lowest z-score). (track), and Kai Zou (gymnastics)?1,2,3 In swimming, how For example, in a swimming event where the last place would one decide whether the woman who won the 200 meter finisher badly trails the pack, the standard deviation of the backstroke was more dominant than the man who won the 50 times of all eight finalists will be much larger than when the meter freestyle? And, how would one compare a gold-medal- last place finisher is excluded from our calculations.

'Race' for Equality
American Journalism, 26:2, 99-121 Copyright © 2009, American Journalism Historians Association A ‘Race’ for Equality: Print Media Coverage of the 1968 Olympic Protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos By Jason Peterson During the Summer Olympics in 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos made history. Although they won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash, their athletic accom- plishments were overshadowed by their silent protest during the medal ceremony. Images of Smith and Carlos each holding up a single, closed, gloved fist have become iconic reminders of the Civil Rights movement. What met the two men after their protest was criticism from the press, primarily sportswriters. This article examines media coverage of the protest and its aftermath, and looks at how reporters dealt with Smith’s and Carlos’s political and racial statement within the context of the overall coverage of the Olympic Games. n the night of October 16, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, U.S. sprinter Tommie Smith set a world record for the 200-meter dash by finishing O 1 in 19.8 seconds. The gold medal winner celebrated in a joyous embrace of fellow Olympian, college team- Jason Peterson is an mate, and good friend, John Carlos, who won instructor of journalism the bronze medal. However, Smith and Carlos at Berry College and a had something other than athletic accolades or Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern the spoils of victory on their minds.

Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life Magazine November 1, 1968
Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life magazine November 1, 1968 When you stop to think about it, the small group of black track stars who organized the “Olympic Project for Human Rights” have got quite a lot done in less than a year. Led by Harry Edwards, a professor at San Jose State, they helped keep South Africa out of the Games. They humbled the prestigious New York Athletic club by publicizing its discriminatory membership policies and persuading an impressive number of top athletes to bypass the club’s famed annual meet. And they’ve ignited a lasting racial consciousness among the previously uncommitted black American college athletes. The most prominent spokesmen of the original group were Tommie Smith, Lee Evans and John Carlos, all of San Jose State. They are not separatists. They do not believe in violence. They are dedicated to ending what they see as exploitation of black athletes and, in the process, gaining dignity and equality for all black people. By the time this summer’s Olympic trials came around, the goals of the “Olympic Project” had engaged the sympathies of most of the black track men who made the Olympic squad. A clear majority wanted to express their feelings in some way at Mexico City. But they disagreed on methods of protest. All of them—even Smith, Evans and Carlos—are competitors and individualists by nature and political activists only sporadically. They never did get together on a unified course of action for the Games. They didn’t even test the support among their white teammates.

All Time Men's World Ranking Leader
All Time Men’s World Ranking Leader EVER WONDER WHO the overall best performers have been in our authoritative World Rankings for men, which began with the 1947 season? Stats Editor Jim Rorick has pulled together all kinds of numbers for you, scoring the annual Top 10s on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. First, in a by-event compilation, you’ll find the leaders in the categories of Most Points, Most Rankings, Most No. 1s and The Top U.S. Scorers (in the World Rankings, not the U.S. Rankings). Following that are the stats on an all-events basis. All the data is as of the end of the 2019 season, including a significant number of recastings based on the many retests that were carried out on old samples and resulted in doping positives.
